Hello! I have been reading your blog for almost a year and enjoy it. I need to tell you that your bran muffins are the BEST! I have made them as the recipe states with pears and ginger. I also have made them with pineapple, coconut and macademia nuts; with peaches, with fresh cranberries and pecans, with pumpkin and raisins, and the last batch was with cherries, dates and walnuts. It is a very forgiving recipe and I thank you for sharing it.

I'm on the other side of the world from you (I have chook's too) and just wanted to know your blog is truly beautiful, I grew up on a small hobbie farm with goats, chickens, lambs and a pet Magpie, and your photos remind me so much of the childhood I loved...thank you for showing me your wonderful world, From Rebecca in New Zealand.

These chicks are just adorable! I have to ask though, is that chick in the middle (looking straight at the camera) the same one mugging for this post?If so, he/she should really consider a career in chicken modeling. The camera loves him! ;)

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
